Sometimes ......



.... Sometimes I'm sad when lovely flowers begin to fade ....
These tulips have cheered me this week and now sadly the petals begin to drop ....
I'm disappointed that it is taking longer to feel well after my op than I expected - I'm tired, still can't walk, and still have pain.

                     
Maybe I'm expecting too much, too soon.
But when will I be "me" again?
How lucky I am though to have lots of TLC from family and friends.
I'm missing stitching but can't get going - luckily I've bought several new books to dip into and have my camera, even if I'm only taking photos indoors. I'm enjoying playing with simple photo editing ... doing on line jigsaws, and "travelling" around the world to places I'll never really visit.
 I'm getting more and more addictive to on line shopping - I'm sure the postman thinks I'm mad!!
I'm so pleased to have such lovely messages and good wishes on line too and sorry that I'm not replying individually to everyone - once more many, many, thanks all - you do me a power of good.
Tomorrow, next week, next month, will surely be better and they are not long away.

    Hoping your recovery goes quicker than expected and you're back to stitching soon!

    Hello Connie, I agree with everything Jill said, it's time to repair, so relax, enjoy what you are doing and it will all come right.
    We are all thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. In the meantime you will have to make do with our ramblings. There's plenty of that on my blog. Even I didn't know I could talk that much. I think I could have been a roving reporter in another life.
    Will send you a little something to cheer you.

    One either gets creative in such circumstances, or sinks into despair.

    A significant age difference, for the purposes of this article, means a couple with a difference in age of 10 years or more.
